Game industry veteran. Dad. Developed Saturday Morning RPG, Breach & Clear, and other games. Founded Limited Run Games, but doesn't work there anymore.
- Crazy to think that in two days, twenty years of gaming history and hundreds of games will just evaporate into the digital ether2 days left until Xbox 360 Store/Marketplace shut down (July 29th) All games: marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Games/All List of final price drops: news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/05/…
- People are talking about growing up watching anime on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and YouTube but I'm old enough to remember having to spend $40 for three episodes of a series on VHS
- "You see, you don't actually own a digital game, it's just a license that let's you play it. The publisher can take that away at any time and revoke your access. They can't take away your physical games. That's why physical games are better: you actually own your physical games."
- I love that since Robocop vs. Terminator was such a complicated license, the entire label had to be a solid block of legal text.
- Maybe it's time to re-release the OJ Simpson PC game
- My favorite console of all time is the SEGA Dreamcast. I bought my Dreamcast on 9/9/99, and since then, I've managed to collect every game released for the system worldwide.
- I think at this point we've turned down about 30 offers for Limited Run Games NFTs. The answer will always be no. We didn't like digital "ownership" before the blockchain, and the blockchain doesn't suddenly make it any more appealing.
- I bought a massive collection of sealed PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP games. Around 2,200 total games. 700 lbs across six boxes. I'm starting to dig in and sort it all. I will share pictures as I complete things...
- Before you ask: it's no longer possible to manufacture physical Wii U and 3DS games.
- Replying to @JoshFairhurstWhile I fully expect all of these games to be digitally preserved, I think it's only a matter of time before torrents hosting the more obscure or unpopular games stop being seeded and the games effectively disappear forever.
